Not too bad even if you did have to pay for it out of warranty. €165 per hour is a bit heavy as a labour charge though.
They used to be lower from memory. Maybe this is the charge as it’s going through the warranty process.
They even had diagnostic charge on the form. Normally they wouldn’t charge you for that if getting the work done.
Tons of space compared to a Model 3 for example. More than a G30 5 series or similar too. The lack of transmission tunnel helps.
More head room for sure.
It’s all relative to what you’re comparing it too. Go look at a few different cars and bring the kids with you.
You can fit 3 depending on the brand/orientation. There is a lot of space in the boot and subfloor, side storage pockets, also the frunk. You should visit the Tesla Centre for a look. It has flaws, like most cars, but they're cracking value IMO
Space yes, 3 car seats? Dont think so.
we've a joey 360, a high back booster and a regular booster in our model Y. We got seat belt extenders for the two boosters to help plugging in the belt
Boosters seats are narrow enough. I will have a 4 year old two year old and a baby. So would three isofix car seats fit in the backseat or any other suggestions welcome?
Only 2 iso fixes unfortunately and we only use one with the joey. Booster in the middle and high back on the outside. Those are tricky ages alright with car seats, ours are 6, 4 and youngest is 5 months.
Do any cars have 3 isofix in the back?
I think there’s only 2 on most cars of this bracket/segment.
I have a booster(occasionally), Be safe high back booster and a Axkid Minikid ERF seat (chunky) in mine. Would use seat belt extenders if was doing regularly and would use a narrower ERF seat too.
Great family car
The Kia EV9(2nd and 3rd row), Audi Q7(3 isofix in 2nd row) and Peugeot 5008(3 isofix in 2nd row) are the only decent cars I'm aware of that have 3 isofix points in the rear. Otherwise, your only options are typical 7 seaters. There are two regulations governing child seats, both running concurrently for now. The first is the UNECE R129, this is the newest regulation which is based on the child's height. R129 seats are side impact tested in addition to front and rear(dummy tested with 32 sensors), R44 seats(dummy tested with only 4 sensors) are only tested for front and rear impacts. You can legally use a R44 seat without isofix in the middle, but you shouldn't. R44 seats cannot be sold within the EU since 1st September from retailers or online, but you can still buy from the UK.
I noticed that recently. Everything was R129 compliant. I guess laying the child across the back seat is frowned open now days 😂
EV9/Q7 would be a significant class above the Tesla so hadnt really considered them in the context of this post. And twice the price so way beyond the segment/bracket of the car mentioned.
I’m surprised the 5008 has 3 isofix in the rear so that would really open that car up for a lot of people depending on its price?
New model 5008 due here shortly only has 2 in the centre row.
yes and it’s a Peugeot. Surprised they changed because I know of lots of people who bought it because of the three individual isofix seats. Yeah they EV9/Q7 are outrageously expensive. I had read somewhere one of the teslas had 3 isofix in the back and lots of room because of no engine for buggies shopping etc. Thanks everyone for the input
I just placed the 250 deposit on a new but in inventory model Y after test drive today - bit of an impulse as there was only 1 non-demo regular range model in inventory and can't really wait to order one from scratch as need the car fairly soon. Exciting!
1 thing I didnt really factor in, the car says that it is in located in Dublin, but I'm in the south. The sales guy was saying it was 50-50 if I'd be offered the option of the car being delivered to Cork for collection. Even in that case I'm assuming someone would be physically driving it down anyway and the risk that entails? Probably better off just trying to make it Dublin to collect myself I imagine? Anyone had a similar situation?
Many before you. 1. get a lift to Dublin. 2. get the train to Dublin. 3. get the bus to Dublin. 4. basically get to Dublin 😂
Ha, thanks. Bit annoyed at myself for not thinking about this before hand, I just assumed that I’d be able to collect it from their place in Cork.
The car I’ve ordered has the 20” wheels - any noticeable difference with these compared to the standard wheels, beyond the stated slight drop in range?
Slightly higher consumption. slightly harder ride. but I wouldn’t swap the 20” wheels for the 19” wheels any day personally.
Looks like a refresh for the model Y

Yep, Juniper nickname. Due in 2025.
Also looks like changes on the Tesla site at the moment. LR RWD in there.
Standard range RWD seems to be gone. ~€3k (I think) jump in price for the LR though, although a second has been dropped off the 0-100 time as well.
Yes, RWD is gone. Same as USA. The new base LR is RWD.
Maybe clearing stock for refresh car.
Very hard to justify the extra cost for an AWD LR now that the RWD LR is available. An extra 50km real world range but less than a second slower to 100 that most people will never appreciate. Slightly faster charging on DC also I think? Even if the AWD and the RWD were the same price I think I'd buy the RWD instead.
Of the same price I’d take the AWD all day long.
They would be the same charging speed on DC, it's the same battery. (you'd add slightly more "kms" due to the RWD being more efficient)
Can anyone tell me that these will fit a 221 Y ? I'm assuming all the same…or any changed lately and have a link.

for those to check, working link
€43 delivered V €54 delivered from Tesla so saving €11.
If they fit then 👍
Must get mine done too, will you let me know how you get on?
But if Tesla are killing off their short range RWDs, does that mean they are moving away from LFP ?
Also, this helped with my increased range conundrum.
"An interesting detail: Tesla has only had one rim variant certified in the WLTP. For the Model Y “Long Range All-Wheel Drive,” for example, these were the 20-inch rims for those 533 kilometres. It was previously said that with the 19-inch rims with aero hubcaps, the EV has an “estimated” range of 565 kilometres. Tesla has had both versions certified for the “Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive,” with 600 kilometres being achieved with the 19-inch wheels and 565 kilometres with the 20-inch induction wheels according to WLTP. In other words, even if comparing the WLTP ranges on paper suggests that the rear-wheel drive model offers almost 70 kilometres more range, the difference is more in the region of 30 kilometres when comparing the same rims."

The LR RWD only variant of the M3 and Y are unsold fleet cars, they were made specifically for the fleet market and not for direct consumers, now they are simply letting them off to everyone to sell them off, they did the same with the M3 version last year
